About Benjamin

I enjoy assisting others achieve their dreams. I am 56. Through a variety of jobs including media center helper, cook and food server, technical help center representative, bookkeeper and web designer, I have had a lot of different experiences and met a variety of people. I have learned that striving for what one wants takes skills. I have skills with the English language, math and accounting, and using computers (a part of modern life) both online and off. I want to pass on what I have learned and continue to learn that it may benefit others.

I have a B.A. degree in English with a creative writing emphasis from the U.W. I also have a certification from the U.W. Extension Writer's Program for Fiction with a science fiction and fantasy focus. Over 35 years of reading English and writing business letters to poetry, qualifies me in this form of communication.

I have a certification in Computer Information Systems from North Seattle Community College, where I was on the Dean's List. I have worked as an EarthLink technical help center representative. As a contractor for Volt Technical I worked at Paccar in Renton, WA, on the user interface of a sales tool. As an independent contractor I've done web design. I am familiar with computers and their software.

For the past 13 year I have been a bookkeeper and office administrator for a local food service business. I work with generally accepted accounting principles applied to daily operations. Much of my time is spent using Microsoft Excel and similar programs.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Chess

When I was in Elementary school my father taught me the basic rules of Chess. I have been playing at an intermediate level for the past 50 years. As well as how the pieces move, I can tutor gambits, focusing on certain strategies can be applied to one's life. An example is sacrificing a piece to gain a better board layout -- give up something one values (but is blocking progress) to get ahead.

Web Design

I have been a freelance web designer for 15 years. As BAM Works/Webcraft I create web sites. I also assist others to make their projects functional and responsive on various devices. Tutoring what I know about web sites can help you.
